1. Floor elevation measurements:
Accurate measurement of floor elevations is the foundation of the FFL Checklist. It ensures that the final floor level aligns with architectural plans and meets safety standards.
2. Subfloor preparation:
Properly preparing the subfloor guarantees a stable and even base for the finished flooring material to be installed.
3. Flooring material selection:
Choosing the right flooring material is crucial, as it impacts the aesthetics, functionality, and durability of the space.
4. Drainage and slope considerations:
Adequate drainage and slope planning are essential, particularly in areas prone to water exposure, to prevent moisture-related issues.
5. Door and window height alignment:
Ensuring that doors and windows align with the finished floor level maintains a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing look.
6. Electrical and plumbing placement:
Accurate placement of electrical outlets and plumbing fixtures relative to the finished floor level is vital for functionality and safety.
7. HVAC ductwork clearance:
Providing sufficient clearance for HVAC ductwork prevents obstruction and allows for efficient heating and cooling.
8. Compliance with building codes:
Adhering to local building codes and regulations is non-negotiable to ensure the safety and legality of the project.
9. Quality control checks:
Regular quality control checks during construction help identify and rectify any deviations from the FFL plan promptly.
10. Client approval and sign-off:
Obtaining client approval and sign-off on the finished floor level ensures client satisfaction and project completion.
